3D
printing is an innovative way of structuring an object or creating layer by
layer. A design of the product is developed into the computer and the same
system is integrated with the machine. Small granules of the raw materials are
feeded into the machines that are further released by the robot arm to form the
3D shape. The similar technology is applied for creating food products.
3D technology printers not only help in the formation of the 3D shape but also
deliver the food with eye pleasing taste and most importantly the taste.
The
technology has brought the tremendous change in the food industry with several
companies across the globe trying their hand at 3D
printing food. 3D printing technology involves a process known as
additive manufacturing, wherein 3D deposition printers slowly deposits the
layers of materials, one of the top of the other, until a product is released.
3D printers are used for manufacturing and creating food utilizes lasers,
powdery materials and nozzles and is opening the new doors for the
customization of the food products with a delivery of potent mix of the right
nutrients. Different printers are used for creating the image of the food and
among them one is Chef Jet manufactured by the 3D systems. It crystalizes the
thin layers of fine grain sugar into a variety of geometric configurations.
Choc-Edge, another printer from Barcelona based Natural Foods, dispenses
chocolate from syringes into a beautifully melty patterns. Moreover, the
cutting-edge printers can handle more tasks as compared to the chef Jet and
Choc-Edge printers. The Foodini, for example uses fresh ingredients loaded into
stainless steel capsules to make foods like pizza, brownie and stuffed pasta.
The time
and effort saved by the 3D food printers has led to their adoption across the
various companies globally. With the democratization of the technology, 3D
printers can print various foods, including chocolate. The printers can print
the complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a
wedding table. This has been made possible with these printers as these
printers reduce time which otherwise is possible only through the years of
experience.
Market Size and Forecast
The market is expected to expand at
a CAGR of 50% during the period 2017-2024 and is expected to reach USD 400
million by 2024.
The market growth is driven by the factors such as growing demand for
customized food and increasing demand from the healthcare applications. Food
Ink, a 3D printed restaurant serves the deserts to the customers that are 3D
printed.
Further, a
German nursing home, uses a 3D printer to create a food product called
Smoothfoods that is a mixture of mashed peas, carrot and broccoli. Moreover,
the consumer with 3D printer at home could log into an online database of
recipes and could design his own meal as long as there are right ingredients in
the meal.

Drivers and Challenges
The global market for 3D printers
is driven by the need for customization as 3D printing saves both time and
effort. The actual nutrients can themselves be customized, so consumers can
benefit from tailor made food for their dietary requirements. 3D printing
allows preparation of easy to chew food, having the composition specific to the
nutrient requirement of the patients. This is likely to help in feeding the old
patients with the food rich in specific nutrients, based on their
requirements. Further, the innovation in healthy food has expanded the
market to the global level. The 3D food printers are used to create a
cracker-like yeast structures that include spores and seeds that sprout with
time. Moreover, 3D printing has the ability to supply an ever-growing world
population as compared to the traditional food manufacturing systems. 3D food
printers also have the potential to revolutionize nutrition i.e. they can
determine the exact amount of the vitamins, carbohydrates required without any
hard work. It also allows the consumers to print food with customized
nutritional content that is optimized on the basis of the biometric and genomic
data. The personalization of the nutritional based food has thus lead to the
expansion of the market as it helps the consumers by creating a nutritional
based food according to their demand. The market has also expanded due to the
applications in the healthcare sector. 3D printers also help the patients who
are suffering from the ailments and allergies by enabling them to use the
technology that purees vegetables like carrots and broccoli into nutritional,
easy to chew soft-molds of their original shape. WASP, a 3D printing company
based in Italy, is testing a printer that can produce gluten-free versions of
popular foods. However, the market growth is hindered by the slow process of 3D
printing which requires cooling many a times before the food can be consumed.
Moreover, the food customization techniques are less effective and at the same
time, the manufacturing cost is high.
In terms
of geography, Europe is dominating the market due to the rapid adoption of the
technology by the consumers and implementing it to the daily food making
procedure. Moreover, the 3D food printing market in Asia Pacific is expected to
grow during the forecast period. Factors such as a high rate of aging and
poverty, and lack of adequate amount of food to feed the population are likely
to contribute to the growth of the market in Asia Pacific during the forecast
period.
